I hope they sue. It's the principle of the matter.

A similar request in Missouri set off a legal battle that stretched for years and went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. A Ku Klux Klan chapter there sought to adopt a portion of Interstate 55. A federal appeals court ruled the state could not bar the KKK from participating in the program, and the high court declined to review the case, letting that ruling stand.
They'd probably win.

However, the Missouri Department of Transportation eventually kicked the KKK, a white supremacy group, out of the program because members were not picking up trash as agreed, spokesman Bob Brendel said Monday. The state also named the stretch of I-55 after civil rights activist Rosa Parks, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Awwww.....how sweet! Pandering at its very finest!!!
Yes, because honoring a true American hero is certainly a bad thing.
Well, for you to harbor such an opinion, you'd first have to divorce yourself from the notion that this stretch of highway wasn't planned to be named after Rosa Parks before the KKK decided it wanted to Adopt....right?
Now, when they sue and win, the blacks taxes will be funding the settlement of the KKK.
